To any non-animal lovers that dislike the idea of pets being allowed to travel in the cabin you only need to look at the publically availiable reports of animal cargo deaths and injuries over the last few years (see here) to understand why many animal owners are adamant to never move their pets in this way, and I have to agree with them. When my (now) in-laws moved to Spain they shipped their two cats as cargo. Both cats appeared on the luggage belt with the suitcases rather than being sent to an animal centre (as watchers of 'Airport' would be familiar with). :0

:0 :0 :0 :0 were the cats ok??? heads would have rolled if that had been my pet.

I would love to be able to take my Mutt on flights as I'm already worried about leaving him when we go to Cuba next year :( (I know that's quite Sad but he's my baby) I am not keen on the idea of kennels although I don't think we are gonna have much choice so we've started the search for somewhere suitable already. As he's a rescue dog I just don't want him to think we are abandoning him cos he's had enough of that already and he's only a year old.

PS. if any one has any reccomendation of a kennel in the Essex area it would be hugely appreciated.

I have just been reading the travel section of the New York Times and there is a Frequent Flier Programme for pets called JetPaws on Jet Blue :D

There is also an airline which began is 2009 called Pet Air which is for pets only serving 9 cities in the US. Pets fly in a climte controlled cabin fitted out with individul crates instead of seats. CC check on them every 15 mins :D Not sure what is showing on the IFE but can think of a few titles Lassie, Star Paws, Lovely Boneos.....

They are planning to expand to to more destinations this summer.......
